By Emilia Krymskaya On Май 6, 2025

Krympress reports:

May 7 Our ancestors not only engaged in sowing, but also celebrated the holiday of the flight — the onset of summer, and the irrevocable departure of winter. Various rites were carried out that helped to finally arouse the earth from winter hibernation and bringing strength and health to the peasants.

They said: «EU ESEI came — on this day oats are from here.» It was believed that after May 7, frosts could occur at night. If a person was born on May 7, then it was believed that he may have abilities that help fight evil forces. We watched nature and analyzed various phenomena. And there was a lot of interesting things around, because it was during this period that maples, poplar, and birch bloomed.

The ancient Slavs glorified the mother of all the gods — Maya Zlatovlaska. In her honor, the sacred fire symbolizing the departure of winter, the return of summer days and the rotation of the solstice were lit. The rituals of «riveting» were carried out, which contributed to health and attracted good luck.

The buffoons of games, songs, dancing, round dances and other fun were common. On May 7, people played on various musical instruments — a pipe, pigs, kugikhahs, drums.

It was believed that this day is good for fortune telling. Therefore, in the evening, the girls were tossing on the narrowed and their fate. The fortune -telling on wheat grains was common. The girl made a desire and took a little wheat in the left palm. Then she poured out the grain on the table and counted them. If the number is even, then the desire will come true.

On May 7, the people themselves called the people differently: Evsey, Evseev Day, Stratilat, Savva, Elizabeth-Chuda, etc.

The ancestors believed that at the end of the first week of the last spring month, Maet attacks a person. And on May 7, Saint Elizabeth must be prayed in order to get rid of this misfortune.

At that time, the ruler of the Roman Empire was Diocletian, known for its cruelty towards Christians. He recognized only the cult of pagan gods. Eusebius and the rest were arrested and thrown into prison. After some time, they were offered to make victims to idols, as the decree issued by the ruler demands. They refused. For disobedience, they were betrayed by brutal torture. The martyrs were beaten with red -hot iron rods until all the meat got off and bones were exposed. After that they were executed — they cut off their heads. This happened in 303.
